‘A Flying Jatt’ superhero fails to take off at box office

Tiger Shroff-starrer A Flying Jatthas been a low-key affair in the box office after its release on Thursday. The film opened on the occasion of Janmashtami with a profit of Rs 7.10 crore.

A few days before the film’s release, Remo D’Souza mentioned about the plot and said, “It’s the story of a simple superhero who is young and human. He derives the superpowers accidentally. There is also a strong mother-son bond that we have showcased in the film. There is also a message about global warming and protecting our environment that we have touched upon through the film.”

But going by the numbers, it is going to be a box office failure. The film which was expected to do better on the on day 2, failed to do so. On Friday (August 26), the Tiger Shroff film made Rs 6 crore, which is even lower than its opening day profits. The total earning of the film stands at Rs 13. 10 crore in two days of its release.

Trade analysts see Saturday and Sunday as crucial days for the film.

A critic saidA Flying Jatt is not afraid to be silly and is very enjoyable.“Tiger Shroff plays a martial arts teacher in a school where he strives lamely to catch his students’ eye, as well as a pretty colleague whom we know is interested in the environment because she clutches a couple of books on the subject to her bosom.”

“The second half goes south. The film starts getting preachy and heavy. A bad guy who fattens on garbage and waste is a great stroke, but to keep belabouring the point is pointless,” she added. – CINEWS
